“No bird is so rare or difficult to find as the Arabian Phoenix. It feeds on frankincense, and its feathers are used in many kinds of spells, particularly those concerning flight. Ashes from a phoenix that has died of natural causes may be rubbed on a wound or planted in a fallow field to promote miraculous regeneration.” –on phoenixes, from the writings of Merlin. Sadly, he did not think to mention pumpkins.
